You can transform a TextArea component horizontally and vertically while authoring and at runtime. While authoring, select the component on the Stage and use the Free Transform tool or any of the Modify > Transform commands. At runtime, use UIObject.setSize() or any applicable properties and methods of the TextArea class.
When a TextArea component is resized, the border is resized to the new bounding box. The scroll bars are placed on the bottom and right edges if they are required. The text area is then resized within the remaining area; there are no fixed-size elements in a TextArea component. If the TextArea component is too small to display the text, the text is clipped.
